Int'l Convention 2008


I had a wonderful time at our Sons of Norway International Convention. With me here in this pic is my friend, Lully, from Oslo. We have been friends for 12 years, first meeting at convention. We used to only see each other every two years, but her husband Ole was elected President of District 8 the same time I was elected in District Six, so we get to see each other twice a year now, which is great.
Everyone at the convention was so nice, so complimentary. I chaired the Resolutions Committee and several people approached me at the banquet saying that our committee did the best job and were the best prepared. Thanks to President Ted for assigning me such great committee members.
I drove to San Diego, which was nine hours down, thanks to traffic in LA and 8 1/2 home. I am still tired, but have the glow of doing good things for Sons of Norway and seeing old friends and meeting new ones. I really had a great time, despite seeming like I was going in eight different directions all the time.
